The culprit is '''Norio Terasawa'''. He uses the fishing rod as a murder weapon, tying a weight on the end to kill Imoto thus creating the impression

it was a physical bludgeoning murder. Evidence to his crime includes the deep imprint he left on the abandoned apartment next-door to the victim's (an imprint
 +
that in these circumstances could only be caused by a fly fisher's stance). Also in the process of the murder a stray bird accidentally got hit in the weapon's line of fire.

His motive for killing Imoto was that he shut down a fishing tackle shop he owned which the victim was going to renovate into company property. The last straw came when he rejected Terasawa's pleas and broke one of his precious fishing rods.
